Hull KR have launched an eye-catching new kit to mark the club’s 135th anniversary.

The brand-new red, blue and yellow design will be worn by the team during this season’s Middle 8s fixtures as the club push to make a return to Super League.

Keen to honour the club’s proud history, as well recognise the generations of Rovers supporters over the past 135 years, the new-look shirt features the club’s classic lion crest and was unveiled by bringing fans, players, sponsors and volunteers together to represent “The Fabric of our Club” in the official kit photography.

The shirt, which is on sale now, will be the final part of the club’s 135th anniversary celebrations this season and has been revealed in place of the traditional charity edition shirt.

All proceeds from sales of the kit will be used to support head coach Tim Sheens and the squad’s push for promotion back to Super League.

Hull KR chairman Neil Hudgell said: “It has always been our aim to celebrate this season’s anniversary in a manner befitting of our proud heritage and we believe this new shirt is the perfect way to bring the curtain down on our 135th year.
